Antique Faceted Citrine Bead Necklace

Restrung on silk with knots in between and closed with a 9k gold square barrel clasp, these gorgeous antique citrine beads bring to mind honey and dancing drops of sunshine.

The beads are graduated, all of a slightly different color from dark honey to a lighter gold. Hand cut, all showing inclusions, each a bit wonky in cut — they are full of sparkle. Lovely stacked with other beads or worn with a gold chain or two.
